  • Title: Adult respiratory distress syndrome: a consideration with rapid respiratory decompensation in association with preeclampsia.
    Author: Papadakos PJ, Johnson DS, Abramowicz JS, Sherer DM.
    Journal: Am J Crit Care; 1993 Jan; 2(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 8353581.
    Abstract:
    Adult respiratory distress syndrome, presenting as rapid respiratory decompensation in the setting of preeclampsia at 36 weeks of gestation, was managed by early hemodynamic monitoring with pulmonary artery catheterization. With confirmation of the diagnosis of preeclampsia the patient was delivered promptly; improvement of her respiratory failure was observed within 48 hours. Consideration of adult respiratory distress syndrome in the setting of preeclampsia is discussed, with emphasis on early confirmation of the diagnosis and determination of the precise mechanisms of pulmonary edema.
